We recently released a “Drug-Free Workplace” training solution for organizations seeking to train employees and supervisors. Available as both “Our Drug-Free Workplace” and “Drug-Free Workplace Training for Supervisors”, the offerings are part of a complete, customizable, and interactive compliance training solution.
As employers across industries face increasing pressure to protect worker safety, maintain productivity, and meet regulatory expectations concerning employee substance use, training programs with a combined focus on supervisors and front-line workers can help build true drug-free workplace cultures. By providing foundational awareness and actionable skills for supervisors, and specific knowledge of expectations, resources, and policies for employees, Vubiz’s new dual drug-free workplace training helps all members of the workforce embrace safety and compliance.
Dual Courses, Cohesive Focus
Vubiz’s Our Drug-Free Workplace is an interactive online course for all employees. It serves as an orientation to the employer’s drug-free policy, testing procedures, the possible consequences of policy violations, and the signs and effects of substance misuse. The course also provides employees with a directory of resources for substance use disorder support.
Drug-Free Workplace Training for Supervisors, on the other hand, is a more in-depth training for supervisors or other employees who have management responsibility. This two-part course covers substance use disorders, signs of misuse, documentation and reporting procedures, reasonable suspicion and other forms of testing, and how to help returning employees access support and assistance.
Together, the courses provide a two-pronged approach, offering both employees and supervisors a common baseline of knowledge while delving deeper into subjects specific to each role.
“As the substance misuse conversation continues to evolve, we believe it’s more important than ever for both employees and leadership to understand not just what’s expected of them, but also how they can support each other,” said Jim Rapino, President and CEO at Vubiz. “These courses are designed to close the training gap by empowering both sides of the workplace equation.”
Customizable to your policies and compliance needs
Both courses are flexible in design and can be customized to the organization’s internal policies, preferred terminology, and any state-specific regulations that may apply to testing or safety programs. Instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all program on the organization, Vubiz’s flexible template allows them to seamlessly customize the branded look and feel, internal policy statements, and even thresholds or rules, to match the organization’s existing practice.
Interactive for better engagement and retention
The Our Drug-Free Workplace and Drug-Free Workplace Training for Supervisors courses aren’t static “read and click” training solutions. Each course features interactive elements that prompt learners to make choices, test their understanding, and consider the real-world application of specific knowledge. By gamifying the training process and incorporating realistic scenarios in decisions and quizzes, the courses nudge employees and supervisors to commit to the correct action and move forward, rather than just passively viewing the material.
Empowering employees and management
Another key benefit of this package of courses is that it’s built for and addresses the needs of both management and employees. Too often, either employees are trained and given expectations, but not given tools to manage, or the supervisors are trained and expected to lead the way, but left without a foundational baseline for other members of the workforce. In this way, Vubiz has built an all-in-one solution with two complementary courses.
Timing is Everything
The need for true drug-free workplace programs is growing, as employees and employers face safety and productivity risks associated with substance misuse, as well as increased state and industry regulations around compliance with specific testing rules. By giving organizations a robust but easy-to-implement pair of online courses that specifically address these challenges, and by covering not just the policies but also the organizational resources, Vubiz is helping close the knowledge gap and equip businesses with the tools they need to act.
In particular, since many industries are highly regulated around health and safety issues, or operate in states with specific drug-free workplace program requirements, it’s important to be able to verify training, documentation, and support in a meaningful way. These courses go beyond simple training requirements to encourage a cultural buy-in from both employees and management.
Course Overview
| Course | Audience | Duration | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our Drug-Free Workplace | All employees | ~1 hour | Awareness level topics covering policy, substance signs & effects |
| Drug-Free Workplace Training for Supervisors | Supervisors | ~2 hours | Advanced modules on reporting, documentation, testing, and recovery support |
Both courses are compatible with mobile devices and support accessibility standards. They can be easily imported to any learning management system (LMS) via SCORM API.
By also supporting complete content customization, Vubiz gives organizations the tools they need not just to complete a training requirement, but to truly adapt the courses to their policies, regulatory compliance, preferred terminology, and unique operations.

With this dual offering, Vubiz continues to expand its capabilities around compliance training, bringing an employee- and supervisor-focused training into the fold alongside its existing library of occupational safety and regulatory online courses. The pair-first approach is unique in the industry. It represents an opportunity for organizations not just to check the box—but to shift culture, strengthen their training consistency, and protect safety and integrity at all levels.
